Pricy for the quality and portion size. The street corn was just a small cup of canned corn. Meat was decent but small.

It was ok, food is fine. Would recommend for lunch during workdays or a bit of a hurry.

This was an insult to Texas barbecue. The meat was dry, lifeless, and tasted as if it had been sitting out for hours rather than smoked with care. There was no depth of flavor, no smoke profile, no proper bark — just bland, tough cuts thrown on a plate.
Anyone claiming this is “Texas-style” clearly hasn’t spent a day learning what real BBQ is. The sauces were just sugary distractions, covering up a complete lack of technique. It’s painfully obvious the kitchen never mastered the craft of low and slow cooking.
If you respect authentic barbecue, avoid this place entirely. They should spend less time advertising “Texas style” and more time actually studying it from pitmasters who know what they’re doing.

I have ordered out from this place before but brought my family in to eat today after the Belmont car show, customer service was AMAZING. My daughter dropped her fork and I couldn’t even stand up before someone replaced it for her. Amazing amazing customer service! Will definitely be coming to dine in more!

The place was closed until 4pm. We arrived 3:20, google said it was open.
Although food was set to an affordable price, the quality of service was terrible.
The lady up front did not greet myself or any customers during my experience.
There were moments where basic manners/greetings were not even present.
Def a nice place to try but never going back purely due to their quality of service.

I’m a visitor that found you on Google. Awesome food. 10/10. Excellent source for a carnivore man!

Wow! How I didn't know about this place before now? First time visitors tonight. My son and I ordered the Brisket Sandwich. The owner happened to have made some Pot Roast and gave us some samples while we waited for our order. Outstanding flavor.
Our sandwiches were exceptionally good. We did bring our own beverages as they do not serve alcohol. Seating area is small but very comfortable. I almost hate to give this place away, but if you are a barbeque fan and haven't tried Ribbro you are missing out on one of the best or maybe even the best in O.C. We will not only be back for another round, but this will be our "go to" barbeque from now on. Wonderful Find!

I thought the brisket and chicken and cornbread were amazing. I like the KBBQ sauce too. I was disappointed by the size of the sides they put in tiny to-go containers. Maybe if I did dine-in the sides would’ve been a bigger portion.
I grew up in Atlanta, went to college in Texas, and spent 2 years in Kansas City, so I know BBQ. The BBQ at this place is unique and exceptional. It’s sweet like Southern BBQ but with a tanginess that really makes it stand apart. You can taste the chef’s personal style in each bite, and it is FANTASTIC. You can also tell that the sides were made in house, and they really are just as good as the main dish. 5/5. Best BBQ joint I’ve been able to find in CA in 6 years.
